this Russian seems to be defeating glock-fu pretty well lol

Early Glock .40S&W chamber lacked enough support to handle full powered factory loads and more than a few detonated on their owners. This lead to a lot of Glock bashing from people that like 1911s and other common non polymer pistols.

personally, a glock 17 with a silencer is quite sexy imo.

I figured thats what you were referring to.

I have nothing but love for those ugly black bricks. Like John kept saying with giggly glee, "It's works right out of the box!" :lol:

Mine is pretty. Massive tacticool points.

pfffft mine is better!

If a person is/was a wrestler then BJJ should flow fairly naturally for them. Most ex-wrestlers within KOTH, UFC, Pride etc all excell in BJJ skills with good coaching and mat time.

I did some traditional Okinawan Ryukyukan karate for a while. I was more into ground fighting though, because Im big and Im good at it :D . We have a great dojo here in town run by some very upstanding people who really know what they are doing.

front back, side to side

I agree with Bill. To excell in MMA you have to have both ground and stand up skills. A good example is of Royce Gracie in the early UFC days. He had excellent ground skills and decent stand up skills. I would put more emphasis on ground work though since fights always end up on the ground and it's easier to end the fight that way, be it through submission or KO. I noticed that the newer UFC generation tries to make it more stand up striking fights since it attracts viewers more but the ground is where fights are won (unless its 2 strikers going at it).

I trained JiuJitsu a bit for a few months at CSUS and did grappling for a few years, (Submission only no striking)

well, then you are dead....maybe if you are lucky he will kill someone else first and you will have time to react, IE drawdown CCW, or get the fuk out there...... :lol: somethings are still left to fate despite ANY amount of training. Situational awareness is your most powerful tool in any instance.

Martial Arts have two levels: 1) Tournament level where all your muscles are balanced (Tai Chi will help balancing all muscles) because in the tournament you compete and hit all legal parts of the body.. NOT the critical zones. then there is 2) Self-Defense level (street survival) where all fights must end fast (all hit counts) to save your good looking face and before COPS shows up and issue citations points to your record...
